Definitions

  • This invention relates to a system for producing electrical energy, particularly with the use of solar heat as the prime energy source.
  • ground level solar energy collectors in the past has been related to an inadequate collection area.
  • an average heat absorption of an optimally tilted collector is about 0.45 kw/m 2 as a year round average sunny, daylight hours.
  • a collector area of 37 square miles would be required for a 1000 mw powerplant.
  • a wind or water operated powerplant is described in Cohen, U.S. Patent 4,079,264, which includes a Venturi passage.
  • a rotary power device e.g. a turbine, is mounted within the throat of the Venturi.
  • a solar energy powerplant for producing electrical energy having as a principal component one or more tall vertical towers.
  • Each tower is mounted on a base structure and is open at the top to permit an updraft.
  • Wind powered turbines are mounted in the tower such that chimney updrafts in the tower drives the turbines.
  • the turbines in turn drive electrical generators .
  • a large heat input is required in order to generate the heat necessary for the updrafts to drive the turbines.
  • a plurality of radially spaced, outwardly projecting heating chambers are mounted externally around the base of each tower.
  • Each of these heating chambers is a generally hollow chamber with walls formed of thin metal sheeting for absorbing solar energy.
  • a closeable inlet opening is provided for introducing ambient air into the chamber and a closeable outlet opening is provided for releasing heated air accumulated in the chamber into the tower.
  • at least 20 heating chambers surround a tower and the inlet and outlet closures in each of these chambers may be adjustable whereby the closures remain closed while ambient air trapped within the chambers is heated to a predetermined temperature, at which time both closures open to transfer heated air to the tower and replace it with ambient air.
  • the heating chambers can be sequentially opened and closed individually or in groups whereby a continuous strong updraft is maintained.
  • a constricted zone is provided within the tower directly above the heated air inlets, this comprising a Venturi chamber adapted to increase the velocity of the heated air moving up the tower.
  • a turbine is mounted within the throat of the Venturi chamber at a point of maximum air velocity.
  • the Venturi chamber serves to at least triple the speed of the rising air stream driving the turbine.
  • the height of each tower and the number and size of the heating chambers connected thereto are sufficient to provide a substantially continuous updraft in the tower for driving the turbine.
  • the inlet air is passed through a dehumidifier prior to entering the tower.
  • the air should enter the tower at a moisture level of less than about 10% and preferably less than about 5%.
  • Dehumidifiers may conveniently be located in upper regions of the heating chambers and/or within the Venturi chamber below the turbine.
  • Each tower is preferably circular in cross-section and each Venturi chamber is preferably in the form of an inwardly tapered frusto-conical inlet portion, a central throat portion of square or rectangular cross- section and an outwardly tapered frusto-conical outlet portion.
  • the wind powered turbine is mounted within the central throat portion on either a horizontal or vertical axis.
  • the turbine drives a generator for generating electrical energy.
  • the powerplant of this invention is intended to be powered primarily by solar energy, the heat requirements within the heating chambers may be supplemented by additional heaters. For instance, in situations where a powerplant according to the invention is intended to provide electrical power 24 hours a day, sunlight is the power source during day light hours and gas burners may be provided in the heating chambers for heating during hours without sunlight. This remains an efficient system since only a small increase in temperature of the ambient air is required to create the necessary updraft in the tall towers. Typically a temperature differential of 7-8 °C is sufficient to provide the necessary updraft.
  • the tower is tall relative to its diameter, e.g. a ratio of height : diameter of at least 10:1, since this produces the highest upward air velocities.
  • a commercial tower may have a height of 400 metres or more and a diameter of as much as 30 metres. Rising warm air within such a tower can achieve speeds of up to 110 kph.
  • a tower 30 metres in diameter has a Venturi chamber with a throat portion having an area of about 144 m 2 .
  • a tower comprises a concrete lower portion extending upwardly less than about 25% of the total height of the tower.
  • the concrete base portion has a height of about 30 metres. Above this concrete base portion is mounted an insulated steel tower.
  • the heating chambers are also large and an individual chamber may have a volume of as much as
  • the temperature differential is about 18 °C without additional air feeding directly into the tower, while with an additional 40% air being fed in, the temperature differential is about 12 °C.
  • the powerplant is provided with automatic controls which regulate the air flow travelling up the tower. This is conveniently done by measuring the turbine speed within the tower and utilizing this to control dampers on air inlets to the solar heating chambers and the inlets from the heating chambers to the tower. For instance, during periods of peak solar radiation, there is sufficient solar energy to provide a maximum updraft in the tower. On the other hand, during periods of minimum solar radiation, the auxiliary heaters in the heating chambers are used. In this way, a relatively constant upward air flow through the tower is maintained.

  • Moveable reflectors 15 may be used to concentrate the rays of the sun onto the heating chambers 12.
  • FIG 3 is a partial top plan view showing how the heating chambers 12 are arranged relative to the tower 10.
  • each heating chamber 12 is preferably formed of light gauge, black painted sheet metal and glass panels.
  • each chamber includes sheet metal sidewall panels 24, inner end wall 25, outer end wall 27 and intermediate panels 29 and 30 and a concrete base 26.
  • the outer end wall 27 includes a glass panel 32 for auxiliary radiant input and also includes a closeable ambient air inlet 33.
  • a sloping wall is provided between outer wall 27 and intermediate panel 29. This sloping wall includes glass panels 28 to again permit the penetration of sun rays.
  • Panels 29 and 30 are black coloured to absorb heat and a further sloping face is provided between the top of panel 30 and the top of inner wall 25.
  • This sloping panel also includes further glass panels 31 to permit entry of sun rays.
  • An outlet opening 34 is located at the top of inner wall 25 and this comprises a closeable opening for feeding heated air from the heating chamber 12 into the tower 10.
  • Auxiliary heaters 35 may also be provided for heating the chambers where there is insufficient sun. These heaters 35 are preferably burners fueled by gas.
  • each heating chamber 12 provides a wedge-shaped gap 36 between the heating chambers and this serves to provide more wall panel surface area for solar heating.
  • the air inlet 33 to each chamber 12 and the air outlet 34 are controlled by adjustable closures (not shown), preferably operated by electric motors. These adjustable closures are of known type and may be selectively adjusted to any point between fully open and fully closed in response to computer signals.
  • Further air inlets 22 are located at the base of the Venturi chamber 13 and these connect directly to the outside. Flow through these inlets is controlled by adjustable closures (not shown) and preferably operated by electric motors.

  • a preferred form of base 26 for a heating chamber is shown in Figure 4. It includes lower sidewalls 42 on base 26 with the volume within the walls 42 being filled with asphalt 43. This is particularly advantageous in desert regions where ambient temperatures may range from a high of 45°C or more to night temperatures as low as 8-12 °C. During the day the asphalt absorbs heat to the point of being liquified. During the night this very hot asphalt gradually cools, giving up its heat to the air passing through the heating chamber.

  • the bottom of the tower 10 is preferably supported on a heavy concrete foundation 37 and the walls of the tower up to the Venturi chamber 20 are preferably formed of reinforced concrete.
  • the remainder of the tower is formed of metal, e.g. corrugated galvanized steel.
  • Figure 6 more clearly shows the heated air outlets 34 from the heating chamber 12 into the tower 10 beneath the Venturi chamber 20.
  • Venturi chamber includes tapered frusto- conical portions 20 merging with a square throat portion 21 within which is mounted a turbine 14 on a horizontal shaft 16. This powers an electric generator

Abstract

Une centrale énergétique solaire comprend au moins une tour verticale à partie supérieure ouverte montée sur une structure portante. Chaque tour (10) mesure au moins 100 mètres de haut et comporte une pluralité de chambres (12) de chauffe dépassant à l'extérieur qui sont montées à l'extérieur autour de l'extrémité inférieure de la tour verticale. Chaque chambre de chauffe se présente sous forme d'une chambre globalement creuse pourvue de parois formées en tôle mince destinées à absorber l'énergie solaire, une ouverture pouvant être fermée prévue dans une région supérieure de la chambre servant à envoyer dans la tour l'air chauffé accumulé dans la chambre. Une zone d'étranglement, telle que par exemple une chambre Venturi, située dans la tour au-dessus des ouvertures d'entrée pour l'air chauffé, est conçue pour accroître la vitesse de l'air chauffé effectuant un déplacement ascendant dans la tour et une turbine (14) mûe par le vent est montée à l'intérieur de la zone d'étranglement et prévue pour entraîner une unité de production d'électricité. La hauteur de chaque tour ainsi que le nombre et la dimension des chambres de chauffe reliées à cette dernière sont suffisants pour assurer dans la tour un tirage ascendant sensiblement continu capable d'entraîner la turbine.
